Happy Blogoversary to us! 8 years ago, the dad-guy had this blog set up for the mom. She thought it would be fun for her to post cute pictures and tell funny stories about us. Well, that idea was short-lived…because us Island Cats quickly realized we had a lot more to say than she did and we hi-jacked the blog from her. Who woulda thought we’d still be blogging after all this time? Yep, here we are…almost 1900 posts and over 82,000 comments later.

We’ve had a lot of fun over these past 8 years, and being part of a wonderful animal-loving community. We’ve made so many furiends with other blogging cats…and woofies and bunnies…and their humans, too!

We’re continuing with our blogoversary tradition of having a commentathon. For every comment made on this post, we’ll donate 50 cents to an animal shelter, rescue group, animal charity or other worthy animal cause. And once again, YOU will help us decide who should get it. When you leave a comment, tell us which shelter, group, charity or worthy cause you want us to donate to. We’ll randomly select one from all your suggestions. If a shelter or group is mentioned more than once, it will be entered as many times as it’s mentioned.

So start commenting! Everybuddy is eligible to leave a comment. Don’t forget to let us know who should get the donation, too. We’ll announce the results on New Year’s Day.

We wanna thank all of you for visiting us and your comments…but most of all, your furiendship. We’ve had so much fun these past 8 years! We ♥ you all!

Happy Blogoversary, guys! Guess the CB was one day early. LOL. Good luck with the commentathon. Since we’re not US kitties we won’t suggest any shelter/rescue; we know whichever one is chosen will appreciate the donation.

Well a really happy Blogoversary to all of you.We sure are so glad that you started blogging. We love coming here and reading about the three of you and your antics.. We would like to name Tabby’s Place to get the money from the blogoversary. They are just the best.

Congratulations on 8 years of blogging! How kind of you to have a commentathon. I nominate Boston’s Forgotten Ferals, a small group that feeds hundreds of ferals daily in all weather along with tnr and trying to home the friendlies.

What a great accomplishment. EIGHT years of fun! You will see our next blogiversary copycats you..we will be having a commentathon as well! If we could chose a recipient, it would be our local Outcast Cat Help. The founder is dedicated to getting stray, ferals brought to the kill shelter spayed, neutered and returned to the place they were trapped rather than killed. It is a program called Return To Field, created by Best Friends.

Happy Blogoversary! What an amazing accomplishment- getting cats to do anything for 8 days let alone 8 years. I nominate Sweet Pea in Massachussetts as the shelter for the donation. They are still trying to get back on their feet.

Happiest of blackberries to our downstate furiends! MOL! Look what mom’s silly tablet did! We MEANT to say happiest of BLOGOVERSARIES to you guys and many more! We would like to nominate A.C. Paws who rescued our Dexter when he was a wee kitten and had to be bottle fed, and Willow who was saved from a life on the streets. We think your generosity is just pawesome!

Well, I am just happy to know you kitties and know that there are kind anthros like yours who think up such a good way to celebrate this very important anniversary! I may be French but mama says the SPCA in Austin, Texas is a pretty wonderful branch of that org.
